eb, if it weren't for me this board would be one big circular knee-jerk Republican hugfest, so to speak. If it weren't for me no one would have to think, ever. Just listen to Ashcroft or Cheney and find the party line for that day, and you'd be set.

As for thinking. Even you THINK I'm a schmuck. Isn't that a lot of thinking, relatively. Feels good, doesn't it? And you're right, I can be a butt, no doubt about it. A real turd. Not always, and I have to think I've found a few of my own around here. (Present company, as always, excepted.)

Now as for Ari, jeez!!! In the old USSR they could banish 'em to Siberia, and we think communism was all bad. Wrong.
